• Napoleon - BBC drama starring Tom Burke and Rob Brydon (Heroes & Villains) | DVD | (06/08/2018) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  The film tells the story of young Napoleon - a masterful soldier and tactician. Napoleon Bonaparte's courage in the field of battle sees him rise from a Captain's ranked officer to establish himself as one of the greatest generals of all time. In 1793 at the age of only 24 Napoleon Bonaparte displaying a dazzling combination of political cunning, personal bravery and military genius took control of the local French troops and lead them to victory and drove the English fleet from Toulon and captured their strongly defended fort, thus establishing his reputation and saving the Revolution. This battle turned on the tactical genius, immense bravery and boundless ambition of one man: Napoleon. Ultimately, French victory at Toulon saved the Revolution. But it would also set Napoleon on the road to greatness. This is one of the great stories of how, through force of extraordinary personality, one man can bend history to his will.

• Mafia! | DVD | (12/02/2001) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £14.99

  This hapless comedy may actually work a lot better on video than it did in theatres. A parody of contemporary mob movies (with a few sidebars skewering such hits as Forrest Gump and The English Patient), Mafia! most closely resembles the first two Godfather films in its generational saga of a gangster family. Lloyd Bridges plays Don Cortino, a native Sicilian who presides over a crime syndicate, and Jay Mohr plays his Michael-Corleone-like son. The film is by Jim Abrahams, formerly of the Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker directing team (Airplane!, The Naked Gun), single-handedly trotting out the old dumb-joke aesthetic that worked wonderfully a lifetime ago but looks a little creaky in the era of There's Something About Mary. Silly allusions to every crime film (GoodFellas, Casino) produced in the last three decades and featuring at least one wise guy or made man find their way into Mafia!'s gags, but most are arbitrary and shrugged off. The film tanked in theatres for good reason; on the other hand, Mafia! might have a lot more to offer if you're slumped on your own couch at the end of a long day, ready for brain-dead entertainment and absolutely apathetic about comic integrity. Even a film this instantly stale on the big screen might have its place in video posterity. --Tom Keogh

• Apollo 13 - When the World Held Its Breath | DVD | (31/12/2013) from £17.53   |  Saving you £-4.54 (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

  Apollo When the World Held It's Breath covers the development of the US space program concentrating on the almost-disaster of Apollo 13 where two-hundred thousand miles into its journey to the moon an explosion ripped through its service module leaving astronauts James Lovell Fred Haise and John Jack Swigert with a limited supply of oxygen water and food. Against all odds they came back and almost 25 years after the doomed mission this celebrated documentary told their story. Presented by James Burke this documentary includes interviews with the key players and covers the highs and lows of the Apollo lunar project from the tragedy of Apollo 1 to Apollo 11's world-changing moon-walk and beyond. Featuring interviews with Lovell and Haise the astronauts families flight director Gene Krantz Mission Operations director Christopher Kraft astronauts Mike Collins and Buzz Aldrin and cosmonaut Alexei Leonov Apollo: To the Edge and Back offers not only unprecedented insights into the Apollo 13 mission but also an overview of the Cold War rivalry which initiated the Apollo programme and the near-fatal mission s impact in rekindling waning interest in space exploration.

• Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy (Deluxe Edition) - Double Play (Blu-ray + DVD) | Blu Ray | (30/01/2012) from £60.69   |  Saving you £9.30 (15.32%)   |  RRP £69.99

  Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy finds George Smiley (Gary Oldman), a recently retired MI6 agent, doing his best to adjust to a life outside the secret service. However, when a disgraced agent reappears with information concerning a mole at the heart of the service, Smiley is drawn back into the murky field of espionage. Tasked with investigating which of his trusted former colleagues has chosen to betray him and their country, Smiley narrows his search to four suspects - all experienced, skilled and successful agents - but past histories, rivalries and friendships make it far from easy to pinpoint the man who is eating away at the heart of the British establishment.An acting masterclass from the crme de la crme of British film (Colin Firth, The King's Speech; Tom Hardy, Inception; Mark Strong, Kick Ass; Benedict Cumberbatch, Sherlock Holmes) and inspired direction from Let The Right One In's Tomas Alfredson make this gripping and tense adaptation of John le Carr's classic spy novel essential viewing.

• Pot O' Gold | DVD | (25/08/2003) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £4.99

  While 'Born To Dance' is the movie musical most associated with James Stewart the largely forgotten Pot o' Gold is the one in which he is most involved with music. The plot has Stewart as Jimmy Haskell a music-loving harmonica-playing man who comes across a poor but excellent band (led by Horace Heidt) that rehearses on a boarding-house roof. Jimmy becomes interested in the people who own the boarding-house Ma McCorkle (Mary Gordon) and her lovely daughter Molly (Paulette Goddard). Jimmy and Molly combine forces to promote the career of Horace and the lads but that task is made difficult by Jimmy's wealthy Uncle Charley. This is a rare opportunity to hear Stewart sing with surprisingly pleasant results. Songs from a group of writers include: Do You Believe In Fairy tales? (Mack David Vee Lawnhurst) When Johnny Toots His Horn (Hy Heath Fred Rose) Slap happy Band Hi Cy What's Cookin'? Pete The Piper Broadway Cabellero (Henry Sullivan Lou Forbes).

• Ghost In The Shell | DVD | (28/02/2000) from £9.83   |  Saving you £2.16 (21.97%)   |  RRP £11.99

  The skilful blending of drawn animation and computer-generated imagery excited anime fans when this science fiction mystery was released in 1995: many enthusiasts believe Ghost suggests what the future of anime will be, at least in the short term. The film is set in the not-too-distant future, when an unnamed government uses lifelike cyborgs or "enhanced" humans for undercover work. One of the key cyborgs is the Major, Motoko Kusanagi, who resembles a cross between the Terminator and a Playboy centrefold. She finds herself caught up in a tangled web of espionage and counterespionage as she searches for the mysterious superhacker known as "The Puppet Master."Mamoru Oshii directs with a staccato rhythm, alternating sequences of rapid-fire action (car chases, gun battles, explosions) with static dialogue scenes that allow the characters to sort out the vaguely mystical and rather convoluted plot. Kusanagi's final quote from I Corinthians suggests that electronic evolution may compliment and eventually supplant organic evolution. The minor nudity, profanity and considerable violence would earn Ghost in the Shell at least a PG rating. --Charles Solomon
